    <p>
    Right division.  <tt>
        <b>x=A / b</b>
      </tt> is the solution of <tt>
        <b>x*b=A</b>
      </tt> .</p>
    <p>
      <tt>
        <b>b/a = (a' \ b')'</b>
      </tt> .</p>
    <p>
      <tt>
        <b>a ./  b</b>
      </tt> is the matrix with entries <tt>
        <b>a(i,j)/ b(i,j)</b>
      </tt>.
    If <tt>
        <b>b</b>
      </tt> is scalar (1x1 matrix) this operation is the same
    as <tt>
        <b> a./b*ones(a)</b>
      </tt>. (Same convention if <tt>
        <b>a</b>
      </tt> is a scalar).</p>
    <p>
    Remark that <tt>
        <b>123./b</b>
      </tt> is interpreted as <tt>
        <b>(123.)/b</b>
      </tt>. In this
    cases dot is part of the  number not of the operator.</p>
    <p>
    Backslash stands for left division.</p>
    <p>
    System feed back.  <tt>
        <b>S=G/.K</b>
      </tt> evaluates <tt>
        <b>S=G*(eye()+K*G)^(-1)</b>
      </tt>
    this operator avoid simplification problem.</p>
    <p>
    Remark that <tt>
        <b>G/.5</b>
      </tt> is interpreted as <tt>
        <b>G/(.5)</b>
      </tt>. In such 
    cases dot is part of the number, not of the operator.</p>
    <p>
    Comment <tt>
        <b>//</b>
      </tt> comments a line i.e lines which begin by <tt>
        <b>//</b>
      </tt> are
    ignored by the interpreter.</p>
